Hi everyone! A little while back, we had Carrie Ann Ryan here and had a great time talking to her. Well, she has another new book out, TRINITY BOUND, and I asked her to come back and tell us about this sexy story!
Hannah Lewis, a rare earth witch, is taken from the only life she’s ever known. Held against her will by a sadistic wolf, she almost gives up hope that she’d ever see her real life again. But as her fellow captive, a werewolf named Reed, tries to calm her fears, she begins to feel a spark of something she never thought she’d feel – love. But is Reed, alone, enough to get her out of this dark basement so she can move on with her life? |
Carrie Ann is going to talk to us about those oh-so-sexy werewolves. I'm turning the floor over to her now.
What is it About Werewolves?
Those of you who have read any of my books know I love werewolves. I can’t help it. I love them all. I love Lycan, Weres, Shifters, Werewolves, and Real Wolves. All of them.
I think my love of werewolves comes from their Pack ideals.
Ha! You thought I was going to talk about their drool worthy bodies. Well…that’ll come later. Shhh…
Where was I?
*shakes head and blinks*
Oh yeah. Packs. Werewolves, in my books anyway, are Pack creatures. Their first goal is to protect their mates, families, and Packs. Everything they do is to strength the Pack. But they don’t do it blindly. They work as a cohesive unit and yet can fight and let their animal nature go…wild.
It’s not like worker ants. If someone falls in the Pack or if they need a shoulder, their Pack is there.
In Trinity Bound, I have Reed, Hannah, and Josh. Reed is the middle child of the Alpha and has lived almost a century as part of the Redwood Pack. He is loyal, caring, and strong. Hannah is a witch and covenless. But she had her mom growing up and is very caring—she just needs someone to be with.
And then there is Josh. He’s human and alone. He doesn’t have a Pack. But boy does he need one.
In fact, the three of them need each other.
And they’ll have the Pack to make sure they have someone to lean on.
Oh, and werewolves are hot. I mean really, why would I write an ugly hero? Either inside or out, my men are drool worthy. What more do you need? LOL
What do you like about werewolves?
Well let's take a closer look at TRINITY BOUND while you're here, Carrie Ann!

And, totally not the time again to let her thoughts wonder.
But what a place they would go.
Hannah gave a nod to both men and closed her eyes, calling to the Earth. She may be a Healer, but she could still go on the offensive with the Earth and kick ass if she had too. Well, at least she hoped he could. She’d trained with her mother – Hannah held back that sharp pain of loss – but she really hadn’t used it, and tiredness ached her bones.
Another wolf’s howl echoed in the not too far distance. Hannah concentrated and moved her arms like an orchestra conductor to take a large pile of soil, rocks and roots in her hold. The resulting mass looked like a crested wave and slammed into the wolves trying to come from behind in a sneak attack.
Stupid wolves. Didn’t they know she could feel them when they trampled heavy-footed on her Earth?
Josh and Reed each granted her a look of pleasant surprise, then a sexy smile.
They’d underestimated her. They wouldn’t do it again.

Thank you for hosting Carrie Ann today.
Thanks so much for having me!!
Interesting take on why you like the wolves - I agree for their hotness - but the pack mentality does resonate. Hmm, thinking about some of the other wolves and I think that is it - the family unit: doing everything for the common good and each other. I like it!
This book sounds very good.
I'm not sure what it is I like about werewolves--could be the pack stuff. I can understand that because my family and friends are like my pack--I have their back and I know they have mine.
How great it must be to have a pack like that. I wish I had one.
What do I like about werewolves? Absolutely everything! Big, strong, Alpha, protective and oh my when they find their mate.....hot, hot, hot!!!!
I'm keen on the loyalty. I don't really like the whole pecking order thing and I have CRIED at nature shows where some wolves have been driven from the pack...But that's another story.

I love werewolves. I love intense way they love their mate.

I think I like werewolves because 1) their ability to shape shift, that's very
unique. 2) their pack life, 3)their loyalty to their mates 4)the way they protect their own. And the fact that they are totally hot, hard and alpha.

I love the protective, alpha males. I love the intense feelings that come with finding the mate and making that person the "one". The werewove is so sensual and giving. Love the wolves!
